Chef Michele was absolutely wonderful!! We had a last minute scheduling conflict but he did a wonderful job communicating and we were able to figure it out. Once Michele arrived at the villa, we immediately had a power outage. He made quick work of figuring out exactly what he could cook and with a little creativity we figured it out. Thankfully the lights came back on quicker than anticipated. Chef Michele was incredible. Highly recommend.

Michele was amazing! We had such a great time and his cooking was amazing! He was very professional and would definitely work with him again!

Michele was very easy to plan and work with, was charming to meet, and cooked delicious food!

Chef Michele was so wonderful. All the food he prepared was incredibly delicious. On top of that my whole family had a really great time. He was very attentive and handled all my specific requests with my family’s dietary specifications with no issue. I highly recommend Chef Michele and my family keeps raving about the experience!

One of the best meals of our trip in Italy. Chef was amazing. Great food and even better personality. Would highly recommend.

Chef Michele was great. The food was fabulous and we had an amazing family experience.

A incredible experience and meal. Every dish plated like a Michelin star dish. Every dish explained in detail to give a deeper meaning to what we were eating. And most important The taste of every dish was incredible. Such big portions as well. Would book this again and again.

Our chef made our entire trip to the Amalfi Coast! The food was delicious, and Michele was so engaging! He shared history of the area, places to visit not only on the Amalfi Coast but also in Rome. We will do this every time we are in Italy!
